He Kills a Man and Tries to Kill
a Woman.
Mobile, Ala., April 23.—A ter-rible
tragedy occurred here at an
early hour yesterday morning. Two
weeks ago a woman named Chand-ler
came here from Dallas, Texas,
with a man named A. B. Pickier,
who is said to be wanted at Dallas
for some crime. The woman found
employment at the Coliseum dance
hall and the man did odd jobs. She
slept up stairs over the dance hall.
After the Coliseum, whioh opened
Saturday morning, olosed yesterday
AT AXTELL.
Stabbed at a Dance—Personal
and General Notes.
Axtell, April 22.—At a Ger-man
and Bohemian ball, given
at Tours, on Wednesday night,
an altercation oocurred between Doc
Jones and W. A. Lee, resulting in
the latter’s being stabbed. Too
muoh beer was the prime cause.
Jones has not yet been apprehen-ded.
But that night’s history has an-other
sad page, and here it is:
There were present on that occasion
morning Miss Chandler went.to her rgeveral of our ‘‘smart Alecks,” who,
triot at a meeting ? which the
great strike in the H^jng regions
was fully disoussed, delaVmined not
to strike. They also-determined
not to mine any ooal to^>e Used in

Belleville, 111., April $3.—The
tween Milliken’e Bend road and the j coal miners of the Belleville dis-river.
The hunt is being vigorous-ly
pressed. The dogs yesterday
could not follow the trail, owing to
its coldness, but the river and all
avenues of escape are closely
guarded, and their ultimate capture
Ts only a question of time.
.The trouble grew out of the kil-ing
of J. B. Boyce on Saturday.
Charles McFarland, manager of T.
F. Word’s plantation, had a diffi-culty
with Joshua Hopkins, a negro | couldn’t
tenant, on Friday. A party of gen-telmen,
including Bojce, started
out to capture Hopkins, but were
unsuccessful. On the way a dog
ran out of Pomp Claxton’s house
and Boyce drew a pistol to
shoot the animal, but was
urged not to do so. He
refrained, but the negroes were in-csnsed,
and while Boyce and his
friends were returning home Clax-ton
and his pals fired on them from
ambush. Boyce was killed and T.
F. Word wounded. One of the as
sassins, Harris Williams, was cap-tured
and in trying to esoape was
killed.

apartment, where she was joined by
Piokler. He grew angry af some-thing
she said and threatened to kill
her if she did not consent to live
with him. She said she would,
after some persuasion. He was not
satisfied, however, and drew a knife
and slashed at her.
Just previously Victor Ducour.
nan, the proprietor, who was down
stairs, had gone to the room to pro-test
against the noise, and had left
when Pickier promised not' to mis-treat
the woman any more;! After
Duoournan left Pickier grabbed the
woman and slashed her across the
hand, and then drew the knife twice
across her throat. She broke loose
and ran to the window screaming
for help, and he started to escape.
On the way out he met Duoournan,
and without provocation shoved the
knife into the neck of Duoournan,
who died in a short while.
The woman is in the hospital,
and will recover.
Pickier then escaped to the
swamp, shoeless and hatless,but was
captured at 10 o’clock laBt night in
a freight car in the outskirts of the
town. He was conveyed to prison
by a roundabout way to prevent his
lynching by an armed body of Du-oournan’s
friends.
Pickier, alias R. A. Black, alias
Brown, is six feet tall and weighs
180 pounds. He has black hair,
very heavy eyebrows, sandy mous-taohe,
brown eyes, dark oomplexion,
broad teeth and has a woman tat-tooed
on his left arm. It is said he
has a wife at Fort Smith, Ark., and
is wanted there for murder.

Seattle, Wash,, April 23.—The

The Olympic Wins.
New Orleans, April 23.—The
supreme oourt decided the matter of
the state vs. the Olympio club to-day.
The court affirmed the de-cision
of the lower court, which was
by a majority vote of the jury de-oided
in favor of the olub. The oase
has been pending for months, and
the deoision will permit the resump-tion
of glove contests in New Or-leans.
Strong efforts will be made in the
ooming legislature to have the sta -
utes under whioh glove contests are
permitted repealed, or in suoh a
way altered as will put a stop to the
sport, but the passage of a repeal
aot is very doubtful.
Trouble at Chicago.
Chioago, April 23.—A hundred
and fifty striking brick masons
went from Blue Island, a suburb of
Chicago, to Sohermerville today and
insisted that the men employed in
the yards at the latter place quit
work. Violence was threatened and
the employes called on the sheriff
for aid. Deputies were sent at once.
Serious trouble is expeoted, as the
strikers are promised reinforce
ments.

To
taking oounsel of their inflamed
propensities, proceeded in a very un
genteel manner to give Bohemia a
taste of “young America.” When
insult had been added to insult, un-til
“forbearance had ceased to be a
virtue,” the Bohemians rose in their
might and administered a rebuke
t' at our noble (?) youth will not
forget for a lifetime. While some
were whipped, one stabbed, and an-other
almost brained, yet each suf-ferer
seems not in the least inclined
to resent the indignity, but rather
disposed, it would appear, to si-lently
submit to justly merited pun-ishment.
Out of deference to those
whom we love, all names are with-held.
Since my last, Tom Cooper, a
negro, stole from Dr. J. N. Sander-son
a gold watoh and $7 in silver.
He was promptly apprehended and
sent to the Waco jail by Deputy
Sheriff W. P. Jones.
Our “literary sooiety” gave an
entertainment last night to a full
house, and all pronounced it very
good.
Our Sabbath sohool literature has
been reoeived, lessons assigned and
we trust that we may have a better
attendance next Sunday.
Rev. MoLaughlin, of Mart,
preaohed a good sermon to an ap-preoiative
audience this evening,
and gave out services again for to-night.
One of our young men can’t de-cide
whioh would be the more profit-able
and congenial to him, teleg-raphy
or inn-keeping. “Paschal”
believes that the latter would be the
more congenial.
President W. C. Morgan asks for
a mass meeting of all oitizens inter-ested
in a future school at this place,
on Saturday night next, being the
28th inst.
Mr. Chapman, of McGregor, did
come, did speak -to a good house,
and did administer his “high-pop-a-lo-
rum” and “low-pop-a high-rum”
to very good effect, but “Paschal”
can’t tell for his life which of the
“drugs” to take. Our captain en-dorsed
the speaker throughout, save
in his animal diversion upon Cleve-land’s
mania for fishing.
